To freeze or not to freeze

That is the question. But you now may be thinking what am I talking about? I'll remove any speculation this is going to be about wart removal? While this was a subject matter in our house this week it is definitely not what I'm thinking about.

If you are like most people then your are getting your yearly fix right about now. Some may have gotten their delivery yesterday, others today at some family function but most likely tomorrow at church. While some of you may have started going down the wrong path and were thinking some illicit drug deal...you're close. Even though there is an exchange of cash for goods it's not quite what you're thinking; that is unless you've got a box of Tagalongs staring at you then we're on the same page because I took care of a row or two of those peanut buttery goodness yesterday. You see I'm talking about Girl Scout Cookies.

I've determined there are only 2 types of people; those who put their Thin Mints & Samoas in the freezer and those who don't. You immediately know which group you fall in and generally speaking probably think the other side of the fence people are just plain ole wrong for not thinking and doing the same as you. I'll get it out in the open right away. I'm a firm believer in the freezer...that is if they make it that far. If you polish off the box or boxes in transit from the Cookie Santas aka Girl Scouts then you are forgiven it happens and it's understandable. Depending if you're right (freezer) or wrong you were most likely born that way...you're mom did it that way so that's why you do it. Moms probably had their reasons; like hiding them clear in the back of the freezer under the fish sticks because dad wouldn't spend that much time looking behind bags of frozen peas and he'd see the frozen Twix or Rolos first and grab one of those instead. Plus if they were in the cupboard then any one who could climb on the counter could get at them and scurry off to their room and hide under the bed and eat the entire box. Don't judge me you know you've done it oh wait I've heard people have been known to do this.

Granted I've been informed of a subdivision in each of these groups and that would be the folks who call Samoas by their other name Carmel deLights but I'm not sure I'm ready to recognize them because they're Samoas in my book; period end of discussion. And technically the same argument could be made about those Trefoils vs the Shortbread people but since they are not a freezerable option we'll ignore them and pretend they don't exist.

So if you haven't gotten your cookies yet then the possibility truly exists they were delivered to your spouce, left with a roommate or given to your kids to give to you. Which if that is the case you're SOL because they're probably gone so you best track down a Girl Scout and see if they have any extras. Long live the Samoas.
